Macnica supports unification of file sharing infrastructure by linking Milbon's "Box" and "Mail2Cloud" - In addition to strengthening security and IT control through log management, it also contributes to eliminating PPAP while maintaining convenience -

Macnica (headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Kazumasa Hara; hereinafter referred to as Macnica), a total Services & Solutions provider in semiconductors, networks, cybersecurity, and AI/IoT, has helped Milbon Corporation (headquarters: Chuo Ward, Tokyo; President and Representative Director and President: Sato Ryuji; hereinafter referred to as Milbon) unify its file sharing infrastructure by providing "Box," a cloud service for content management and sharing specialized for business use, and "Mail2Cloud," a cloud service for saving emails and email attachments in cloud storage.

■ Background of introduction
Milbon, which boasts a top-class market share in Japan as a cosmetics manufacturer exclusively for beauty salons, has had multiple file sharing infrastructures and has used different file storage locations such as NAS, Microsoft SharePoint, and personal disks. As a result, it was difficult to share information smoothly when multiple departments collaborated, and it was difficult to find the files used by the target person when the work was handed over due to personnel transfers or retirement. . In addition, shadow IT was also occurring, such as using individual and free file sharing services for file sharing outside the company.
Therefore, Milbon decided to introduce a common file sharing platform for the entire company in order to centralize file management, streamline operations, strengthen security, and control IT.

■ Point of introduction
Milbon has adopted the content cloud "Box" as a company-wide common file sharing platform. Evaluation points are as follows.

Point of introducing Box:
・The interface is simple and can be used not only from a PC but also from a smartphone.
・Unlimited storage capacity, you can easily upload large files such as videos.
・ There is no security concern, and it can be used from overseas such as China

And what supported that decision was the secure email management system "Mail2Cloud". Mail2Cloud is a service for sending attachments securely. If you attach a file to an email and send it in the same way as before, the attached file will be removed by Mail2Cloud, and the file that has been virus-scanned by Box will be stored in the specified folder. Then, the shared link (URL) of the file is automatically issued and delivered to the other party. Therefore, it is possible to break away from PPAP (a method of sending a ZIP file with a password), which has been pointed out as a risk in recent years.

Mail2Cloud introduction points:
・It is possible to securely send email attachments by linking with Box.
・By automatically storing email attachments in Box, it is possible to centrally manage content in Box.
・If there is an erroneous transmission, it is possible to deal with it after the erroneous transmission by deleting the shared link from Box.

■ Effects of introduction
At Milbon, 1,150 employees (including about 200 overseas employees), which is almost all employees, are currently using Box. Collecting and visualizing Box logs has strengthened management and made it possible to notice unauthorized access and file operations.
In the past, security measures for sending files by e-mail were narrowed down to the departments within the company that used them, and PPAP tools of other companies were used for business partners that could receive encrypted files. was not expensive. On the other hand, Mail2Cloud can be used by even those who are not very confident in IT without being aware of it, so as the target spreads to all employees, the usage rate has more than doubled, improving the convenience of sending files by email and strengthening security. We were able to do it at the same time.

In the future, Milbon will unify file exchange with more than 10,000 business partners on Box and aim for further efficiency.

Macnica has been highly praised for its consistent and accurate support, from providing materials at the time of proposal to advice at the time of implementation. As the primary distributor of both Box, the company that provides Box, and mxHero, the company that provides Mail2Cloud, Macnica 's strength is that they can smoothly communicate with customers and provide comprehensive support to them. Macnica will continue to provide new and useful information to customers as quickly as possible and support their security operations with their high level of technical expertise and support.
